texlive-latex3 description should contain name of the included latex packages

[Frédéric Grosshans]

The texlive-latex3 description should contain the name of the included package. For example, the package mathtools, which comes through the MH bundle is not easy to find.

All the *.sty files from th MH bundle should be listed, that is : breqn, empheq, flexisym, mathstyle, mathtools, mhsetup and xfrac.

Sure enough ... let's see what that would mean ... doing the same for
texlive-latex-extra

Current dpkg --info length: 877 lines (the longst in the archive I assume)
Number of sty files contained: 1204

Adding this up we would have *quite* a long description.

Sorry, forget this proposal and learn to use dlocate/grep/etc
(or the web site for seaching within packages!)

Enjoy

@preining: OK, it can be long for other package, and putting all the .sty files in general is probably too much. But for the specific case, "The MH bundle" is not a very clear description. The Debian bug (linked above) suggest replacing this short sentence by :

  mh -- The MH bundle, including breqn, flexisym, xfrac, mathtools, mathstyle, and empheq

If that is too much/not clear enough, using the first sentence of http://get-software.net/help/Catalogue/entries/mh.html would be an improvement, without being a list of .sty style. This would be something like

  mh -- The mh bundle is a series of packages designed to enhance the appearance of documents containing a lot of math
